Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Godfrey, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Godfrey offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
